Stokes hits maiden ODI century

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has hit a maiden one-day international century against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

The 25-year-old led the attack after James Vince (16), Jason Roy (41) and Jonny Bairstow (0) were dismissed inside the first 13 overs.

Stokes's previous best ODI score was 75, which he hit against Pakistan in September, but he improved on that on Friday when he pulled up his hundred off 98 balls with a drive through midwicket.

England's other big hitters Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan and Joe Root were not competing in the match.
